The Reputation Of Wealth.

Next to the possession of wealth in
inconvenience, says Boston letter to
The Providence Journal, is the reputa-
ton of having it. A friend tells with
a good deal of drollery how he has suf-
fered this summer from the undeserved
fame of fortune. You know" he says,
'rhat the KS went abroad in j une, and
they offered us the use of their cottages
at Wareview for the summer Ofcourse
we we're delighted. and i'll hadn't made
a mismove in the first place we should
have had beautiful time. Such tri-
fling thing too. 1t was only buying a
dollars worth of postage stamps at
the village post Office. but it came
very near spelling our whole summer, "
Of course he was asked to explain, and
did so by saying in place where peo-
pie bought single stamp for letter
after the epistle was written. the pur-
chase of fifty stamps at once took on
all the magnitude of magnificent
financial transaction. The purchaser
was from that moment regarded as a
man of enormous wealth. He was
charged extravagantly for everything,
his steps were haunted by committees
soliciting subscriptions for the church
and charity. and he was. in word.
subjected to all the annoyance of being
wealthy without the satisfaction OF
having the reality of which this was
the unpleasant shadow. "And here
AFTER" he concluded. II shall never
buy more than single stamp in the
country"

Fullerton, 18th District.-A "basket party
gotten up by Miss Laura E. Cole and Others was
held at Gatch's M. E. Church on Wednesday even
ing, and was most enjoyable affair. The large
circuit tent erected in the grove adjoining the
church, in which ice cream and confectionery were
sold and in which Mr.. William Vogts, assisted by
Messrs. Blair, Evans and Williams, auctioned off
the baskets. The bidding quite spirited and
prices ranged from 80 cts. to S125. Some of the
baskets were beautifully decorated with flowers,
fringed paper, &C., the attractiveness of which
rivaled by the sweetness inside, consisting of
fruits, cake, &c. The church opened and
there was some fine vocal and instrumental music.
Altogether it was very successful and enjoyable
affair.
On Monday night last some evil disposed person
set fire to large pile of stumps on the farm of
Mr.. Sylvester Ritter. The stumps had been col
lected from adjoining farm, at considerable
trouble and expense, and were intended to be used
in burning kiln of oyster shells. The fire was
discovered soon after it was started and Mr. Ritter
worked for three hours carrying water and trying
to put it out, but failed, and the whole lot de-
stroyed. Should the guilty ones be discovered it
may prove dear sport for them.
The Fullerton ducking club has rented the gun
ming privileges of Mr.. Henry Pruitt's farm and
are now moving from their former place, (Meeks's,
on Bird river,) where their lease had expired.
Should there be good shooting this winter they
will be apt to get their share of ducks, as there
are some "crack" shots among the members.

Some October Pictures

LIE pumphlu plo 10 yoiio"J
The buckwheat cake is brown,
The farmers gray neck whisker
Are full of thistle down.
The leaves are crisp and russell,
The sumac's blazing red,
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit is cavorting
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun of the sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfy's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy in the orchard
Is up the apple tree.
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
All nature seems to rustic
Just like new silk dress.
The sausage soon will ripen,
The popcorn soon will pop,
And Christmas things enliven
The window of the shop.
Sing hi, for merry autumn F!
Sing no, for autumn gay,
Whose pretty potpie squirrel
Among the branches play!
For now no merry bluebird
Upon the rose tree toots,
And autumn, golden autumn,
Serenely up and scOots.
